Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…
1994 offered just the kind of eye opener a nano second can unexpectedly bring you. You have a great soundtrack going for 1994. Please continue to indulge us.

Good to get a discussion going now, even if a bit round the houses!! Glad it wasn’t just me re the Floyd thing on this track, and now reading other comments from your thread, I can agree some Tull influence too...a rather excellent combination! I was late to the Floyd party, to be fair, being a total Genesis nut since forever, but then when I was invited to join a PF tribute in 2008 for a few years, grew to love their music totally.....

Hi there...this is the only was I can see to thank you for your regular positive comments for my orchestrations and Soundscapes!! But can I also now say that I love the feel of this track...may I say a bit reminiscent of Pink Floyd?....especially the lead solo..

That shoe box from 1994 must literally be vibrating with energy.... Like someone up in outer space could see it's energy field from a million miles away. This one is gut wrenchingly beautiful. Amazing emotion.

I wrote it one dark night over 23 years ago.

**All I Have To Do - A A J Russe**
There isn’t much time to get this out
You won’t hear me if I have to…
Ok, grabbed me right away with that unexpected chord shift in the intro. I love your songwriting, man. The variety, the sonic palettes, the lyrics, the playing, the inventiveness, all of it really; it's such a pleasure to sit, listen, and lose myself in the song.

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.
On…
Oh yeah...the slide just kicked in and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Killer groove, the bass and drum lock up, along with the Rhodes...... Love the space in this mix too. Damn, Andrew, you are on fire. It's good to hear you making music again. Selfishly speaking, it's inspiring.

OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...
I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…
Exhales...man. I'll just say this is really, really powerful. And tough to listen to since I think I know where this is from. On a production note, whatever mics you are alluding to where a good acquisition. I love how your acoustic has been sounding on these cuts this morning.

Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…
A remix of this tune by a guy who really knows how to mix tracks proper...Andy found a producer type guy that liked this song but thought the mix was really bad...so I sent him all the individual tracks and this is what he came up with I think…
a song written about my memories of a trip to norway. and dedicated to my viking host Geir T Alfsen.
the original version was done acoustically and can be heard here.

but…
Here's the Classic from Boston from that time when my locks were flowing and i was 3stone lighter....with speed Demon Gene doing the music and yours truly trying his best on the vocals...hope you enjoy as much as we did doing it.....
I can't believe the stuff you guys are taking on!! Excellent...
Couple of requests for future consideration:
Carry On My Wayward Son
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
:)
Well Reg has just realised that he keep making the same mistakes with his relationships as he always has....the first song from the Newly built cellar.....Jim just had to jump o this one............
Hello pain my old friend it's so nice to see…
Yeah, I don't like making comparisons either usually, but Jim Morrison sprung to mind very much...
Hopefully that's what at least one of the Regs was intending :)

We played this song a bit different from the record. More heavy, we recorded a live rehearsal and added some vocal tracks. Recorded in L.A. by Brian Clark
With My Sister Kathy Bores
Last Waltz Of The Evening
The last waltz of the evening
Last dance of the night

Music plays and I’m holding you so tight

Oh so descending front ending then ascend to a massive middle eight . Great forward motion . Cutting slicing lyrics. Does it for me Jethro
Absolutely top-drawer in terms of composition, performance and sonically 👏
Different and beautiful. I like the build and drop, high/low contrast in the song.
Just had my daily listen to this song ...love everything about it 😎
Love the slow pace of this piece, gives it a bit of a solemn vibe Very well written and performed Good one, Andrew! KC
Haunting ... and beautifully arranged. Definitely well described as “glass completely bluddy empty” though
morning Andrew. Your secret Celtic self is peeking out here, I think you should be your self more often on this highland rank , cus I think its sweeeeeeet
Love the guitar on this :) They've certainly stood the test of time! x
Love that unexpected chord change in the middle eight - Great work!
I love that wooden acoustic sound. Nice little hook in there. It’s another winner Andrew.
This group of songs is just amazing. To think about you writing them in '94... amazing. Your guitar is just gorgeous on this one. Awesome all around.

This is great, simply great. I love how you are able to sing this so well, even with your tongue firmly planted in your cheek.

Woo. This takes me back... Love it :)
Crazy stuff. Love it.
Yep, great track. Still loving the vocal delivery. And that harp is mighty fine.
It do indeed. Nice one :)
I always wanted one too! Sounds like I might have been a bit luckier in the one that caught me though... lol Fine restrained blues.
Oh yeah...
Yep, good to see this one on here. Fine, fine song.

Thought I'd commented on this... Fine song, loving the slide.
Almost speechless here... Wonderful :)
A cheery little song... Nice one :)
Liking your voice and how you deliver a lyric. I'll be back later for more :)
Love this, mighty fine.
This kinda grabs me too :)
Yeah, like it :)
This is such a gorgeous song, always loved it... Fine version :)
Huge sound. And those wonderful vocals.
Blissful listening.
